Sacrifices

Sacrifices is an RTS game where players become the god adored by a remote village hidden deep within the jungles of Mesoamerica. As a deity, your work is complex, varied—and rewarding. Particularly if you do well by your worshippers.

Each match starts out with just an empty temple and a few congregating natives. Little by little, you'll pool together your inhabitants to build huts, sawmills, apothecaries, hunting lodges and other buildings where you can pick up resources and improve villagers' livelihoods. It goes without saying that your people are your greatest resource. Attend to their needs, respond to their prayers, provide them the right jobs, equip them with proper weapons and armor etc—oh—and
